Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
印度🇮🇳都拍了，我们呢？？虽然是真人真事改编，但是人家总理也是能见到，并且还赠送了玫瑰。有美化成分，但是至少维护了一份该有的权益。我們正常女性的思維裡，還有哪些不自知裹小腳的地方呢！！！在古甘演講的時候，也在思考是不是普通人對妓女這個行業太多歧視而不自知。
「我們心中有火焰，卻如玫瑰般綻放，我們滿足男人的慾望，來守護女人的純潔」
还是很燃 原来一直有人在做不可能做到的事情啊
女主让我想到张柏芝。对比国内的90后女演员，演得都是些低智角色。
这编剧也是厉害， 能将一位被骗卖到妓院恶可怜女生逆转的一生拍得如此励志温暖。而长着一张清纯玉女脸的女主阿丽亚这次成功演绎一个女老大的形象，一部非常不错的电影。难得的是竟然是改编自真人真事...
当然影视作品还是需要一点起伏的，女主受磨难是第一重，接着就该女主站起来了。这里面安排了一个讲原则的黑帮老大作为女主的‘贵人’。很快女主就收服了一批人。
看上去很解气的大女主电影，但是逻辑上有些经不住推敲，看了影评理解了一些
其实不用太多谈论她的建议合理性问题。甘地也不是什么精明人，何况是一个妓女。
向英雄致敬。回归电影本身，过于冗长，又没有太多情节推进，战火连天的音响下，时而会让人觉得乏味无聊。另外，摁头煽情令人下头。
有时候挺想问问那些坏人，刀尖上赚的钱，到死都没花掉，为啥要去做坏事赚这钱呢？哈哈哈哈。
“错觉”比1好…？1我还是在电影博物馆的IMAX高巨幕厅看的，2是用平板看的，结果我感觉2比1好…至少这次的节奏是对的了。
连刷两部#水门桥##狙击手#，这是被浓浓的爱国热情和民族自豪感点燃的一个上午，两部都是诉说的那段历史，都是英勇无畏的战士们，都是傲慢自大敌人，都是年轻战士在战争中的快速成长，都是……虽然题材类似，但拍摄的角度和方式却是不同，一部场面宏大，悲壮，燃情；一部局部，细腻，克制，敬畏。虽然最后七连和五班都只剩一人，那些年轻的面庞和他们的故事都停在了那一刻，身躯留在了异国他乡，但他们为了祖国和人民的利益，敢打敢拼，不畏牺牲的精神会永永远远的传承下来，激励着世世代代。两部不需比较，都很热血，都很触动人心，都是为了铭记历史，缅怀英雄，更为了长久的和平。
最可爱的人啊我们不会遗忘
有点爽文女主的气息，但是很悲剧，电影很喜剧，原型是悲剧，不管再有钱，她们丢失的尊严再也找不回来了。我不喜欢这个电影，主要是女人被利用的悲剧，无法改变受害者被抛弃的命运，看着很励志，实则悲凉。
很好的题材，但是导演夹带私货，使得主角的主张看起来前后矛盾。真实世界的女主更另人敬佩。
虽然没有成为电影演员，但她的人生被拍成了电影。这样的故事能拍出来能上映证明还是有人在努力改变在斗争。
她不见得有多么远大的目的或逻辑严谨的说辞，但她为保护的群体做出了正面的贡献，这就是真实的力量吧。
《甘古拜·卡蒂娅瓦迪》的世界，就像当年的上海滩（虽然这俩月也没好到哪里去）。甘古太会撩了。我喜欢电影里的表述，这个试图让印度卖淫合法化的女人，她在毫无尊严的地方，给了女性尊严，教她们在笼子里如何自由呼吸。她的命运充满悲伤，但她一生都面带微笑。尽管，甘古的阶段性成功也是依靠了大佬，但成功的人谁不曾有贵人相助呢，她演绎的玛丽苏式爽女的逆袭，更多还是少时文化教育的功底、性格使然以及拼命的自救，不然怎会与尼赫鲁当面交流争取权利。为了有尊严地活着，我们都需要自救。
但凡看过脸上写着“I am not for sale”的尼泊尔女孩，为了救回被拐卖女儿主动被拐卖的孟加拉母亲，都不会相信一个老鸨的良心吧。
牺牲了身体
